Background:
It is documented that the facial profile changes, morphology changes, and continued facial growth in early adults and late adolescents.
Aims:
The present trial was aimed to quantitatively assess the changes in facial growth from adolescents to adults.
Materials And Methods:
In the present study, 16 facial distances (transverse) and craniocaudal facial distances were measured, and growth changes were assessed. The collected data were subjected to statistical evaluation, and the results were formulated.
Results:
Upper face width was statistically significantly increased in males than females from posttreatment to recall with the P < 0.0001. The decrease in outer canthus was seen in females as compared to males, which was statistically significant with the P < 0.0001. An increase in mouth width was seen in both males and females with higher in females.
Conclusion:
The present study showed an increase in facial dimensions in both genders with age where transverse changes were higher than the craniocaudal alterations.
